Great guide to get a glance overview of Penang’s traditional street food - The guide introduced more than a dozen popular food in the Penang cares. In a tour of around 4 hours, we get to taste almost every kind of popular street foods. And many of them has earned several years of Michelin recommendations! It’s worthwhile to join if you want to have an idea how the Penang street foods taste!

Delicious Inside scoop tour - Sandy our guide was really great, the food was amazing as well as the history and meshing of cultures. She introduced us to the owners and staff as well. Went to several restaurants and tried all kinds of foods, amazing noodles, chicken, soup dumplings, famous ng bakery, market snacks and market tour and dessert. Wouldn’t have known where to go without her. The places we went also didn’t have long lines and were better than the ones with long lines.

Food Tour with Fifteen tastings - What a culinary delightful time we had on this small, quaint, and delicious tour in Old town Georgetown. Our guide Sandy was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. She has a wealth of information. We had Maylasian porridge, Hainan chicken rice, pork dumplings, and peanut candy to name just a few! All extremely delicious!!! It’s hard to choose just one, but my husband’s favorite was Sister Yao’s Char Koay Kak.
